Bonnet monologue (Act 13) — Christmas Candles: Plays for Boys and Girls

Very well, I'll be down directly. [_Exit, and re-enter at once with a rather old-fashioned cloak and bonnet, which she dons before the glass._] I hope I haven't kept Miss Pittock waiting. [_Looks contemptuously at her wrap._] _She_ looks quite more than the lady in her mistress's last year's cape. They say the shops is a sight to behold this year--I haven't a minute to get a look at them myself--and it do seem as if people made more to-do about Christmas than they used. I wonder what kind of shops Miss Pittock'll fancy most. I'd rather see the show-windows in the Grand Bazaar first. They do have the most amazing show there. Anyway, we've got plenty of time. Her lady won't be home before twelve, and no more will mine. [_Turns down gas, and exit._]
